Si Qin listened quietly to Lu Xiaoran's explanation.
"What do you think?" Lu Xiaoran looked at Siqin and asked.
Siqin didn't speak in a hurry, but there was a trace of hesitation in his expression.
"I feel very uncertain, but I have to give it a try." Siqin said.
Lu Xiaoran nodded. Now that the eldest grandson is away, these big and small matters require two people to make decisions, so Lu Xiaoran must first ensure that their opinions are unified.
"I have learned about the current situation of the college in the past two days. Qizi College and Wenwen College are temporarily under the management of the school committee. Nowadays, people in the two colleges are unstable. Some teachers and elders with lively ideas have begun to contact the various factions privately. The main characters are afraid that if it’s too late, they won’t have their own place.”
"As for the bunch of deadbeats in the administrative department, they are still vacillating back and forth, but they are still indifferent about Wanyuan Trading Company. After all, the two most promising candidates are very unfriendly to us. In the past two days, I will The relationship in the administrative department has been carefully managed again, and these guys have restrained themselves a lot for the sake of our Luliang Trading Company," Lu Xiaoran said.
Si Qin has been working on the Gunslinger Project and the New World Project for the past two days, so he doesn't know much about these situations, but he can imagine how difficult it is for those veterans in the Administration Department to deal with them.
"The situation here is a little better than yours. The Gunslinger Project has been progressing fairly smoothly while we were away. Thanks to Zhang Su being in charge of the soul-enhancing team, there has been no pause. The New World Project is due to It’s still in the experimental stage, and not many people know what we are doing, so we haven’t received much resistance.”
"It's just that the lesson plan writing team that I'm mainly responsible for in the Gunslinger Project made some mistakes. The teachers in the team also experienced the situation you mentioned. People's hearts are wandering and everyone is in danger." Siqin said.
Lu Xiaoran nodded and asked: "I heard from Xiaoyi that you have a vice-dean there named Sun Miao who is more difficult to deal with? He said that he has always been opposed to the Gunslinger plan and thought it was all grandstanding, so he didn't do it this time. What the heck?"
Siqin chuckled lightly, "How could it not be? The teachers in our group would have such a situation, which had a lot to do with him. As soon as something happened to Dean Yun, he began to turn to Duan Zhenbiao from the Faculty Department. Then Duan Zhenbiao's name began to be gathered. teacher."
"However, the teachers in our group are all knowledgeable and knowledgeable, and they all understand that what they are doing can enhance the status of the liberal arts college and change the situation of the students in the liberal arts college, so they can still continue to work. It's just that the teachers have recently The clamor for his superiority is getting louder and louder, and he is also regarded as the next dean of the Academy of Literature, causing all these teachers to feel in danger."
"My return this time has temporarily stabilized everyone's emotions, but this is definitely not a long-term solution."
Lu Xiaoran asked: "What are you going to do next?"
Siqin did not answer Lu Xiaoran's question, but said: "As Changsun said before he left, the good situation we have achieved now must be maintained and continue to develop better, so that when Changsun comes back, we can give him an explanation. "
"The competition for the next dean of Qi Ziyuan is bound to be fierce. For Duan Zhengde, it is wise not to set his sights on the position of dean. After all, his qualifications are far behind the other two. Well, showing his ambition too early would be detrimental to him.”
"It would not be appropriate for us to go directly to talk to Duan Zhengde, and it would easily make him wary of us," Siqin said.
"Why don't you use Changsun's trick? Find his friend and give him some love?" Lu Xiaoran asked.
Si Qin thought for a moment and finally shook his head and said, "First of all, his sweetheart is just a former dancer from the Red Sleeve Pavilion. It is not appropriate to talk to Duan Zhengde about this matter with such an identity."
"Second, if such a method is used once, it will easily arouse Duan Zhengde's resentment if it is used again. We cannot let him feel that we are always holding his hand."
Lu Xiaoran nodded after hearing this.
Siqin paused for a moment and then continued: "But there is more than one person who can give him a blow, and there is also his wife who is married to a matchmaker."
Lu Xiaoran's eyes lit up and she said, "You mean Tian Energy!"
Siqin nodded, paused for a moment and then said
.
"Actually, these are the relationships that Changsun has already established for us in advance. We can use them as long as we reconnect."
Lu Xiaoran thought for a moment and said, "Would it be too business-like to go directly to Tian's Energy to talk?"
"Well, we can't talk directly. Duan Zhengde is very concerned about this. If he realizes that he has become a bargaining chip in our negotiations, he will definitely not get what we want."
Siqin turned to Lu Xiaoran and said, "Actually, Lu Xiaoran, do you think that what the eldest grandson has done has any additional meaning for people like us?"
Lu Xiaoran was stunned for a moment, and then quickly realized the meaning of Si Qin's words.
People like the two of them will have to go through brutal family fights in the future before they can finally become the ones who successfully inherit the family.
In this process, they need to have more chips and stronger strength so that there will be no surprises.
Thinking of this, the scene at the Changsun family gathering suddenly appeared in Si Qin's mind.
"We can't have any accidents. Failure means destruction!" Thinking about Changsun's experience back then, Si Qin can understand this truth.
"I always wanted to rely on my own abilities to make my father recognize me, so I never bothered to form cliques. Even during this process, I tried my best to deny the fact that I was Simon Nanzheng's daughter."
"But during the time I spent with my eldest grandson, I came to understand one thing. It is wise to make rational use of all your resources, and it is foolish to insist on useless self-esteem." Siqin said calmly.
Lu Xiaoran nodded, agreeing with Si Qin's statement, and then added: "This guy Changsun has indeed achieved the ultimate in this aspect. He abandoned his ridiculous self-esteem and remained absolutely calm. Well, I understand what you mean, and I will go find him next. My uncle is going to start using some tricks."
"Well, only if Duan Zhengde can't see us, will he eventually come to us for help." Siqin said.
There is a huge mansion in Lieyang City with a big plaque hanging on it.
Tianfu.
This is the residence of the Tian family.
Tian Zuoxiong is the current head of the Tian family, Duan Zhengde’s wife, and Tian Rui’s biological father.
In the mansion, Tian Zuoxiong was having a meal. There were not many people at the table, only his wife and Tian Rui.
Tian Zuoxiong said, "Xiao Rui, I haven't been home for a while."
Tian Zuoxiong looked majestic, but the fondness in his eyes when he looked at Tian Rui opposite him could not be concealed.
Tian Zuoxiong's wife, Mrs. Lin, was sitting next to Tian Rui and was picking vegetables from the small plate in front of Tian Rui. :
It can be seen that Tian Rui has always been cared for at home as a pearl in her hands.
Tian Rui hummed, and then said: "Father, you also know that there has been a breakthrough in the Zhengde border. It just coincides with the recent changes in Qingteng. You can take this opportunity to move up, so the family also I'm quite busy, don't blame Father."
As she spoke, Tian Rui stuck out her tongue to Tian Zuoxiong.
Although Tian Rui has reached the age of nearly forty, she is usually very well maintained. At this time, making such an action still makes people feel cute without violating the rules.
Tian Zuoxiong had nothing to do with his daughter and did not blame him. He continued, "Have you received the letter I sent you earlier?"
Tian Rui nodded slightly when he heard this.
"What does Duan Zhengde mean?"
Tian Rui was a little embarrassed, but she still said: "Dad... Zhengde still wants to rely on his own ability to move forward."
"Huh, relying on your own abilities, how come the higher your position, the stronger your self-esteem becomes? Or does it mean that you don't like the help that an old man like me gives him?" Tian Zuoxiong had already put down his chopsticks when he said this.
"Dad, why do you say that about Zhengde? You are not in the academy and you don't know how many people have stabbed Zhengde in the back over the years. He has just made a breakthrough and his foundation is not yet stable. Now he has reached out to the position of dean. How much you should be hated by others!" Tian Rui said half coquettishly and half complaining.
In the past, as long as Tian Rui used this move, Tian Zuoxiong would probably give up, but I don’t know what happened this time, Tian Zuoxiong
Suddenly he got angry.
I saw Tasakuo slamming the table and his voice became excited.
"He was stabbed in the spine? Your father and I are still fighting in the business field. I have been pointed at and scolded by many people and I have swallowed it. What's wrong with him? I can't stand being talked about behind his back. Already? That’s called incompetence!”
"Dad! What's wrong with you? Why are you talking like this?" Tian Rui also got angry and threw away her chopsticks and shouted to Tian Zuoxiong.
"What's wrong with me? I won't be able to survive soon. Your grandfather's grandfather gave me Tian's Energy and he's about to collapse. How else can I talk?" After saying this, Tian Zuoxiong pushed his chair and left the table angrily.
Tian Rui was stunned. She had never been treated like this by her father since she was a child. Even when she had to marry a poor scholar who was not from the right family despite his father's objection, his father had never been so angry.
Thinking of this, Tian Rui's tears couldn't help but fall down.
Mother Lin saw the father and daughter in such a situation at the dinner table and didn't know how to dissuade her. When she saw her daughter crying in grievance, she immediately soft-heartedly tried to persuade her.
"Ruier, it's okay, don't cry, your father didn't mean it like this."
"Then what does he mean? Does he have to watch Zhengde and I break up the family to be satisfied?" Tian Rui faced her dearest mother at this time and immediately vented all her grievances.
Seeing her daughter's appearance, Ms. Lin sighed and said, "It's hard for you to come back. Originally we didn't want to tell you this to save you from being upset."
Tian Rui was stunned when he heard this.
Mrs. Lin continued: "The family business is not easy to run now. Your father has been having a headache these past two days because of these things."
Tian Rui seemed to realize that she had overlooked one thing, that is, her father had never been cruel to her, and he rarely even spoke harshly to her. There must be a reason why he suddenly became so angry with himself this time.
"Isn't the family business always relatively stable? And didn't we negotiate many projects with the college some time ago? How could it suddenly..." After Tian Rui said this, she realized that the changes in the college during this period must have an impact on the family business. had a greater impact.
Mrs. Lin could see that her daughter had already figured something out, and said softly: "This matter is also our fault. In order to negotiate those projects with the college some time ago, we have lost a lot of energy on other families' projects. Now I don't know why, these families They all suddenly expressed their intention to terminate cooperation with us at the same time."
After hearing this, Tian Rui understood the seriousness of the problem and asked, "Has the project been terminated?"
Mrs. Lin shook her head and said, "That's not the case yet. Some of them may just take the opportunity to discuss the distribution of benefits with us again. This is fine. If in the past, the college had not undergone those changes, and we could only rely on cooperation with the college. Those projects are enough for us, and we will definitely not give in to them. But now..."
"That's why your father got angry with you. He was really upset and angry a lot during this period. If... Zhengde can really become the dean of Qiziyuan, then these projects will definitely be stabilized. At that time, even if those families want to terminate cooperation with us, it doesn’t matter. After all, we are all old and have limited energy, so we can have less time with fewer projects.”
Tian Rui felt sad when she heard this. Thinking that her father would still be so angry and worried at his age, she felt that she was not qualified as a daughter.
"Mother, I..." Tian Rui was still a little embarrassed.
Mrs. Lin was considerate, and when she saw her daughter's appearance, she understood that she also had difficulties, and said, "Okay, Rui'er, it goes without saying, mother understands. I just want you to understand your father and not give birth to him." angry."
Tian Rui nodded.
At night, Tian Rui was relaxing in the back garden and happened to meet her parents who were also taking a walk.
Due to the conflict with his father in the morning, Tian Rui didn't know how to face him for a while, so Tian Rui simply hid behind the rockery.
"Okay, don't be angry with your daughter anymore. You have to understand her. As the saying goes, the husband sings and the wife follows." Ms. Lin said to Tian Zuoxiong.
"Humph, it is indeed a married daughter. You can't keep the water you throw away." Tian Zuoxiong said.
"That's not true, otherwise you would still want to keep her by your side for the rest of your life." Lin said with a smile.
"Stay, as long as she is willing, I hope she will stay by my side for the rest of her life." Tasakuo said, spreading his hands.
"Then, you have said that she is willing."
Tian Zuoxiong sighed after hearing this.
"Okay, don't push your daughter. At our age, there's nothing we can't control. As long as our daughter is happy, that's enough." Ms. Lin persuaded her.
Tazuo nodded.
The two walked away, but Tian Rui behind the rockery had already burst into tears.
At the same time, Tian Rui also decided something in her heart, what she must do for the family.
On the other side of Lieyang City, Lu Songzhu smiled and said to Lu Xiaoran: "This trick of yours is insidious enough. It hit Tian's Energy seven inches accurately. In this way, Tian's Energy must do something Make concessions and give up some of your original benefits."
Lu Xiaoran shook his head, these can only be regarded as casual, his main purpose is not these, but to let Tian Rui be the person who forces Duan Zhengde.
